      Outcome Measures

      Primary Outcome Measures

      1. Percentage of Participants With Hemoglobin (Hb) Response [Baseline, Week 12 up to Week 24]
        Hb response is defined as a ≥1.0 gram per deciliter (g/dL) increase in average Hb concentration from Week 12 through Week 24 compared with baseline.

      Secondary Outcome Measures

      1. Change From Baseline in Average Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT) -Fatigue Subscale Score from Week 12 through Week 24 [Baseline, Week 12 up to Week 24]
        The 13-item FACIT-Fatigue subscale assesses severity and impact of fatigue. The subscale has a 7-day recall period, and total score ranges from 0 to 52, with a higher score indicating less fatigue.
      2. Change From Baseline in Average Hb Concentration From Week 12 through Week 24 [Baseline, Week 12 up to Week 24]
      3. Percentage of Participants With Hb 1.5+ Response [Baseline, Week 12 up to Week 24]
        Hb 1.5+ response is defined as a ≥1.5 g/dL increase in average Hb concentration from Week 12 through Week 24 compared with baseline.
      4. Change From Baseline in Indirect Bilirubin at Week 24 [Baseline, Week 24]
      5. Change From Baseline in Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) at Week 24 [Baseline, Week 24]
      6. Change From Baseline in Haptoglobin at Week 24 [Baseline, Week 24]
      7. Change From Baseline in Reticulocytes at Week 24 [Baseline, Week 24]
      8. Change From Baseline in Erythropoietin at Week 24 [Baseline, Week 24]
      9. Percentage of Participants With Improvement in the Patient Global Impression of Severity (PGIS) -Fatigue by at Least 1 Category at Weeks 12, 16, 20, and 24 Compared With Baseline, or "No Change" if No or Mild Fatigue at Baseline [Baseline, Weeks 12, 16, 20, and 24]
        The PGIS-Fatigue assesses severity of fatigue (on a 4-point scale ranging from "None" to "Severe") over a 7-day recall period. Improvement in the PGIS-Fatigue by at least one category or no change if "None" or "Mild" PGIS-Fatigue response at baseline will be assessed separately at Weeks 12, 16, 20, and 24 compared to baseline.
      10. Percentage of Participants With Improvement in the Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) -Fatigue at Weeks 12, 16, 20, and 24, or "No Change" if No or Mild Fatigue at Baseline [Weeks 12, 16, 20, and 24]
        The PGIC-Fatigue assesses change in fatigue compared with baseline (on a 5-point scale ranging from "Much better" to "Much worse"). Participants reporting improvement in the PGIC-Fatigue or reporting "No change" if "None" or "Mild" PGIS-Fatigue response at baseline will be assessed separately at Weeks 12, 16, 20, and 24.
      11. Change From Baseline in the 6-minute Walk Test (6MWT) Distance at Week 24 [Baseline, Week 24]
      12. Change From Baseline in Serum Ferritin at Week 24 [Baseline, Week 24]
      13. Change From Baseline in Transferrin Saturation (TSAT) at Week 24 [Baseline, Week 24]
      14. Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [Up to Week 293]
      15. Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Graded by Severity [Up to Week 293]
        AEs and SAEs will be graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE; Version 4.03) from Grades 1 to 4 where Grade 1 is mild and Grade 4 is life-threatening.
      16. Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) Considered by the Investigator to be Related to Study Drug [Up to Week 293]
      17. Percentage of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) Considered by the Investigator to be Related to Study Drug [Up to Week 293]
      18. Plasma or Blood Concentrations Over Time for Mitapivat [Pre-dose Week 12; pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 3, 5, 7 hours post-dose Week 20]
      19. Area Under the Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to the Last Measurable Concentration (AUClast) of Mitapivat [Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 3, 5, 7 hours post-dose Week 20]
      20. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Mitapivat [Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 3, 5, 7 hours post-dose Week 20]
      21. Time of Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of Mitapivat [Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 3, 5, 7 hours post-dose Week 20]
      22. Blood Concentration of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) [Pre-dose Day 1; pre-dose Week 12; pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 3, 5, 7 hours post-dose Week 20]
      23. Blood Concentration of 2,3 - diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG) [Pre-dose Day 1; pre-dose Week 12; pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 3, 5, 7 hours post-dose Week 20]
